Completely understand why HFT must exist

I did a search on F# and found nothing on ET. I find that interesting. I have decided to dedicated myself to learning it. Seems very straightforward.

Yes, it's quite surprising. It's not unknown in the industry, though. CS does all (?) of their modeling in it.

It's very well suited for trading, and a joy to program in. It lends itself nicely to concurrent programming.

All right, 5 sentences that don't explain anything. This is typical nitro.

I wouldnt say CS does all there modeling in f#. For the functional crowd, I have seen ocaml, scala, erlang, and haskell used at well known firms. But no one just sits and uses one language anymore.

Yes, I would assume so.

However; they hired a team of F# programmers a few years back, and it is their main modeling language now.

It's because of institutions like CS that F# moved beyond the research level at Microsoft.

As a mathematician, I find F# very pleasant to use. Sadly, there are many programmers who seem determined to miss out on the joys of functional programming. Apparently too few have read SICP...
